Gstaad, Switzerland - Each year, the Gstaad International School brings together a student body made up of diverse nationalities, religions and races. It is this diversity, a microcosm of wider world around us, that enriches the experience of living and studying as a community.
As an international school GIS expects its students to cultivate an understanding of and a respect for the differences which make people unique.
At GIS, the cultural differences which so enrich the life of our school exist side by side with the common denominator uniting us: a genuine caring for one another as well as an attitude of thankfulness for all that has been given to us, the personalized learning and teaching that takes place, and the options and opportunities that we have been given are not our due. These are our blessings! Let us use them responsibly and gratefully.

The highlands of Turkey and the lifestyle of its people have an important place in the rich cultural landscape of Turkey. The tradition embodied in the lyrics of this ancient folk song, “The people of Avşar picked up and headed for new lands” have still being sung today, is what led to the settlement of hundreds of new areas in Turkey.
In the Chinese Chronicles, Turks are described as people that “lived by following the rains and the pastures with their horses and high-wheeled wagons.” After they came to Anatolia and abandoned their nomadic wanderings for more settled ways, they embarked on a new journey continuing old traditions within the parameters of a new lifestyle.
In this new millennium of the “global village” where cultural differences seem to be disappearing, the highlands of Turkey offer a refreshing authenticity of ancient tradition which is noticed as soon as it is experienced. Compared with our modern way of life, it is a vivacious way of life in harmony with nature, at once both oriental and exotic.
The highlands have much to offer; the fresh clean air of an undefiled environment, crystal clear streams, a refreshing coolness that is a relief from the sweltering heat during the hottest summer days, views of enchanting beauty, fruit and vegetables grown without hormones and ripen on the vine slowly and naturally, milk and meat products of animals pastured in the most natural environments. The innumerable wild animal and plant species living in their natural habitat rescue us from the virtual world of TV documentaries and enable us to experience real life up close and personal.

Working with Russian space officials, a private firm plans to sell a flyby trip to the moon. Price per passenger: 100 million dollars (U.S.).
If the plan takes off, two space tourists and their pilot would spend 10 to 21 days crammed in a passenger car-size Soyuz space module.
The length of the trip depends on whether it includes a stop at the International Space Station.
Space Adventures, based in Arlington, Virginia, today announced their agreement with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency for a lunar look-see—the latest, most ambitious trip offered to private space tourists.
Organizers say the trip could launch in three to four years.
Citizen astronauts able and willing to cover the sky-high cost of the spaceflight would first have to undergo six to eight months of extensive training and mission preparation.
“This is an expedition, not a trip to the beach,” said Space Adventures chief executive Eric Anderson. “Sure they’re private citizens. But they’re also explorers, like the people who first climbed Mount Everest.”
